St. Norbert College

“Vocation is the place where our deepest gladness meets the world’s deepest need.” - Frederick Buechner

Post-Graduate Service

Where do your passions and skills meet the world’s most pressing needs?

Each year a handful of the St. Norbert College graduating class commits to one or more years of full-time service in the United States or abroad. Full-time service offers you the chance to share your gifts, experience a new culture, live and work in community, broaden your experience and knowledge of the world, develop your spirituality, tap into your passion, and create a more just and humane world. It is not “a year off,” it is hard work with populations who have great needs. Post-graduate service can also be a valuable experience for personal growth and exploring future career options.

Sturzl Center for Community Service & Learning

The Sturzl Center for Community Service and Learning on campus works to help St. Norbert College and its students partner fully with the Brown County community in work that promotes the common good. It serves as a resource for students, faculty, staff, alumni and other supporters interested in community service – particularly as it impacts student learning – by providing guidance; best practice tools; occasions for reflection; and access to opportunities for community engagement.

Norbertine Volunteer Community

The Norbertine Volunteer Community (NVC) is a Norbertine-sponsored post-graduate service program for young adults. The NVC offers Norbertine volunteers opportunities to serve in full-time internships with local non-profit agencies and schools.
